About La Jolla, California
La Jolla is a neighborhood in San Diego, California, occupying 7 miles (11 km) of coastline along the Pacific Ocean. The topographic feature that gave rise to the name "holes" is uncertain; it probably refers to sea-level caves located on the north-facing bluffs, which are visible from La Jolla Shores. (Wikipedia)
